Roscongress Foundation Chairman of the Board and CEO Alexander Stuglev and
Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar (IPAQ) CEO Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al Thani
held a meeting at the Russia House in Davos. The meeting further built on the
negotiations that took place as part of a visiting session of the St.
Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in Doha in December 2019. The
two CEOs discussed practical measures to implement a previous agreement on ways to
coordinate activities in investments and business initiatives, and also made
proposals as part of a project to create a Qatari investment platform to
support and promote innovative companies and Russian investments.
«The joint work of Roscongress and IPAQ is
a vivid example of the ongoing multifaceted cooperation between Russia and
Qatar. We intend to continue jointly working to implement promising
Russian-Qatari projects on an ongoing basis», Al Thani said. For his part, Stuglev
stressed the importance of bilateral business cooperation and attracting direct
and portfolio Qatari investments for priority Russian projects.
The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Undersecretary for Economic
Affairs of the Ministry of Finance of Qatar Saud Bin Abdullah Al Attiyah and
Qatar Financial Center CEO Yousuf Mohamed Al-Jaida.
In 2020, Qatar will take part in the SPIEF with the honorary status of a
guest country. This status entails an official delegation of the highest level
taking part in the Forum as well as a representative business delegation and an
intensive business dialogue.
